Here's a look at which Jets improved their standing and which ones hurt their cause the most on Sunday.

STOCK UP: RB Eli McGuire

McGuire's return to the lineup wasn't spectacular, but it was certainly a solid showing. He was the Jets' most efficient running back at 4.3 yards per carry (seven attempts for 30 yards) and also caught three passes for 37 yards. He was also the Jets' most-used running back, playing 55 percent of the offensive snaps. That's a decent workload for a guy who had not played an NFL game in nearly a year.

STOCK UP: LB Jordan Jenkins

Two sacks is always going to help the stock. Jenkins now has 4.5 sacks on the season, smashing his old career-high of three sacks, which he set last year. He now comfortably leads the team in that category, too; Brandon Copeland, Avery Williamson and Leonard Williams are all tied for second with three sacks apiece.

Don't Edit

STOCK UP: LB Jeremiah Attaochu

Attaochu logged his second sack of the season and first since Week 5. Attaochu is still just the Jets' fourth linebacker, but two sacks is big progress for him considering he played just four games and did not record a sack for the Chargers last season. He's become a vital part of the Jets' outside linebacker rotation at this point.

STOCK UP: DE Tarrell Basham

Basham isn't one of the big names on this team -- he's very much a role player as the fourth-choice defensive. But he got a lot more playing time Sunday than usual, logging 25 percent of the snaps. That likely had something to do with the Florida heat and the Jets trying to rotate personnel to stay fresh, but it still has to be encouraging for Basham to be entrusted with that increased workload.

Don't Edit

STOCK UP: NT Mike Pennel

Pennel has been Steve McLendon's backup at nose tackle all season, but actually got more playing time than the Jets' starter on Sunday. McLendon logged just 32 percent of the snaps, while Pennel was on the field for 40 percent of them. He recorded one tackle during that playing time.

STOCK DOWN: QB Sam Darnold

Darnold was the first to admit that he had a terrible day, calling it his most frustrating day as a professional and deeming his performance "stupid football." After four interceptions against the Dolphins, he's now thrown 14 on the season -- four more than any other quarterback in the league. His ball security issues have been a big problem for the Jets of late; three interceptions against the Vikings in Week 7 proved costly, too. It's been several weeks since Darnold had a good performance and he desperately needs to snap out of this funk.

Don't Edit

STOCK DOWN: RB Isaiah Crowell

Crowell actually picked up the efficiency on Sunday, running for 3.8 yards per carry. That's obviously far better than his 1.9 average from Week 8. But despite leading the Jets in carries and rushing yards, he was actually sparsely used, playing just 35 percent of the offensive snaps. The Jets clearly preferred McGuire in many situations, given he played 55 percent. With Bilal Powel on injured reserve, the assumption was that Crowell would have to carry the bulk of the Jets' running game. Perhaps that won't prove to be true.

STOCK DOWN: WR Jermaine Kearse

Drops and mental errors galore. Kearse caught a ball while standing out of bounds, for Pete's sake. Plus, it was another quiet day on the stat sheet; he tallied just three catches for 20 yards. He's now logged just 215 yards on the season, putting him on pace to finish under 400 receiving yards for the first time since 2013.

Don't Edit

STOCK DOWN: C Spencer Long

Long's snaps were absolutely brutal, particularly in the second half. He was just about incapable of getting the ball back to Darnold without risking a catastrophic turnover or at least killing them play's rhythm before it had a chance to develop. He was eventually pulled because his finger injury deteriorated; it will be interesting to see if he plays again in Week 10 or rides the bench like he did in Week 8.

Don't Edit

STOCK DOWN: K Jason Myers

Myers had been near perfect through eight games, converting 18 of 19 field-goal tries and seemingly making every big kick. But that aura was shattered against the Dolphins, when he pushed a 50-yarder that would have tied the game early in the fourth quarter. That miss was a major momentum swing; a make there could have led to a very different final 12 minutes.

Don't Edit

STOCK DOWN: Offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates

The Jets offense has averaged 11 points over the past three weeks. They've found the end zone just three times during that span. Darnold has thrown seven interceptions in those games. And in back-to-back weeks, solid defensive efforts have been squandered by the offense's complete inability to get anything going. But Sunday's performance was by far the worst one yet; the Jets didn't so much as get in the red zone. They never once felt like they were close to taking control of the game or breaking a big play. Bates' offense is clearly broken and his most important student -- Darnold -- is struggling the most of anyone.

STOCK DOWN: Head coach Todd Bowles

It sure feels like Bowles is running out of time to fix the Jets. After back-to-back wins in Weeks 5 and 6, all the talk around the Jets centered around making sure their momentum didn't come crashing down like it had after winning in Week 1. Instead, they've pieced together a second three-game losing streak. This team has no consistency and continues to find ways to lose games. At some point, all the other reasons aside -- rookie quarterback, injuries, etc. -- Bowles has to be able to turn in a decent record. But unless something changes in a hurry, that's not going to happen for the third straight season. The Jets may feel like they're making progress, but there's not tangible proof of it right now. That's making Bowles' seat hotter by the week.
